Re: How can I use outgoing mail server not local host?
I think this depends on your Mail Transfer Agent (MTA), not the Mail User Agent (MUA). I use Mutt and qmail. I tell qmail where/how to send e-mail. Mutt just dumps it to the SMTP server. I am currently using four different hosts for outgoing mail with my ISP being the default.

In /usr/local/etc/Muttrc there is a # set sendmail="/usr/sbin/sendmail -oem -oi" # set sendmail_wait=0 I suspect these are the defaults. I am using qmail's sendmail wrapper. I might be able to fiddle with the settings and use qmail-inject or mailsubj directly. There may be some minimalist MTA that just dumps it to the SMTP server or your choice.

Re: please help
Sasha, What is your sendmail variable set to? The default works for me and I am using qmail's sendmail wrapper/clone.

coloring in just one mailbox
I would like to color all e-mail from lists in just the $folder. I am using: folder-hook !'!' color index black white ~l folder-hook '!' color index yellow white ~l I end up with all mailboxes colored yellow on white. What am I doing wrong. TIA, Jeff

It appears that the match is on any part of the full path. For example, if the default mailbox is ~/Maildir/ and the folders (or other mailboxes) are in ~/Maildir/folders/, then the pattern \! matches both the default mailbox and all folders. Try the pattern '\!$' (with or without the quotes). This solved my problem with coloring e-mail from lists only in \!$ :) HTH, Jeff
